came across this bug while trying to reproduce bug 94999.

1. go to http://www.cisco.com/public/crs/locator/
2. click on "search" button

actual:
-- the next page (Locator- search) displayed is incomplete. see screenshot 1.
-- When I do a 'reload', the complete form is displayed, but the 'input-button' 
controls look wierdly placed. See screenshot 2.
-- with each reload, the form gets more and more disfigured. see screenshot 3.

Netscape 6.1 is displaying the form with multi-select controls.
IE and Netscape 4.77 display the form differently -- single-select controls.

One of the biggest issues here is that they have two DIVs and and they are 
checking for layers. Here is their JS function:

function hideThisDiv(isLoading)  {    
  if ( document.layers)    {  	  
   document.layers["parent"].layers["child"+isLoading].visibility = 'hide';    
  }    
  else if (document.all)    {  	  
   document.all["child"+isLoading].style.visibility = 'hidden';    
  } else {
 
   document.parent.layers["child"+isLoading].visibility = 'hide';    
  }
}   

So this just isn't going to work for Mozilla.

Just noticed that the url mentioned above directs mwe to a new location 
http://tools.cisco.com/WWChannels/LOCATR/jsp/partner_locator.jsp

This page looks fine and there is no distortion with the layout when I hit 
reload multiple times. Looks same as in IE.

I suppose, now, this bug is invalid.
